House Fellow
Assistant Director, Master of Public Health Program

Elizabeth is the Assistant Director of Cornell Public Health and the Manager of the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health in the College of Veterinary Medicine. In these roles she and her team support an amazing group of faculty and students interested in the interdependent health of people, animals, and the environment. 


She grew up in Ohio and moved to New York City where she nurtured a love of art and graduated from NYU. Her work in higher ed began after a move to Boston and a serendipitous placement as a temp at MIT that turned into a career. She has lived in Ithaca since 2012 and has three boys that have grown up attending House Dinners. Talk to Elizabeth (or she may talk to you!) about administrative careers in higher ed, living in France, cows on campus, elementary school basketball, and swimming in Cayuga lake.
